Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 421: Isn’t the martial arts world full of fighting and killing? Can’t you even last five seconds?
Hearing Fangyan's words, Xiao Li also nodded and said:
"That's right. I've said it before. No matter who the opponent is, there can only be one result, and that is winning."

Only then did the nervous Director Chen come to his senses:
"Yes, yes, yes, look how nervous I am. I just saw that the people on the ring were all very nervous. We have the real masters here."

After seeing the match on the ring just now, he couldn't help but put Xiao Li in the role of the weaker party. Now everyone is talking about how powerful Lei Gong is, so he feels like he has been tricked.

If they were ordinary people, they would have indeed been cheated by Brother Qiang.

This guy actually did it on purpose, and he almost made it clear at the beginning that he wanted to play against him for a profit, because he could arrange the opponent.

Arranging a strong opponent for the newcomers is obviously a trap for them. The free man does not benefit him at all, so he simply uses him to establish the authority of "Thunder God".

It is equivalent to treating Xiao Li as a miscellaneous soldier.

But he had no idea that Xiao Li, this seemingly harmless young man, was actually the national champion.

I was just looking to find the best fighter here so I could try out my new bone-splitting technique.

The betting on the spot soon showed a one-sided trend.

After putting on makeup, Xiao Li looks very honest, and since he is always smiling, people even think that he has something wrong with his brain.

Everyone has made it so clear, shouldn't we just beg for mercy and run away at this point?
Rather than going on stage and getting beaten up, injured or disabled, it would be better to just admit defeat at this time. You are here to make money, why do you have to risk your life?

Some people even couldn't bear it anymore and came to remind them.

Seeing this situation, Brother Qiang felt that the situation was somewhat out of control.

Either no one will place a bet, or those who do place a bet will all bet on You Lei to win.

This won't work.

As a last resort, he quickly changed his strategy and told everyone that the odds of "Xiao Gao" had increased to 1 to 6.

Just spend 5 dollars and you can get a month's salary if you win. This is an unprecedentedly high odds and it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

But everyone is not stupid. This obviously means that "Xiao Gao" is not a good person and has almost no chance of defeating You Lei.

Brother Qiang saw that he seemed to have messed up, so he quickly used his eloquent tongue to brag to everyone:

"This Xiao Gao has played in other places before. He played in a high-end field, the kind of high-end field that you guys can't see."

"Don't think that he is a newcomer. In fact, I know his strength best. Otherwise, how could I arrange such a match?"

"We've been in this place for such a long time, and now it's basically all old faces fighting. What's the point of fighting? Even if there are newcomers, they are all rookies who can only fight one round. So I tried every means to get Xiao Gao to help us, to inject fresh blood into us, so that everyone can see more exciting boxing matches."

After hearing what Brother Qiang said, someone in the crowd immediately asked him:

"Brother Qiang, from what you said, Xiao Gao's strength is enough to fight against Lei Gong?"

Brother Qiang said confidently:

"Need I say more? As long as he performs normally, we can definitely give you a very exciting boxing match today. I can assure you that the two of them are absolutely equally strong. For something like 60% to 1, I will only open this one match today."

"If you don't believe me, don't regret it later when they win and say I didn't take care of you. I've made it clear now. It's 1 to 6. If you bet 5 dollars and win, you get . If you bet dollars and win, you get . You won't find such a good deal anywhere else."

After hearing this, someone in the crowd immediately said:

"Done! I bet twenty on Xiao Gao!"

"Brother, you have great courage!" Brother Qiang gave a thumbs up.

Then he called out to the others off the field:

"The first person has already placed a bet. Are there any others?"

"The last five minutes, hurry up."

"1 to 6, this has never happened before!"

At this moment, a voice came from the direction of the workshop door:
"I bet two hundred!"

When everyone looked over, they saw a man in his fifties, about 1.70 meters tall, with a slicked-back hair and wearing a Zhongshan suit, walked in.

There were several people following him.

They are all young and strong men in their twenties or thirties, about 1.8 meters tall.

It makes him look very classy.

"Oh, Mr. Cheng! You're here!" Brother Qiang immediately put on a smiling face and greeted him in a flattering manner.

Mr. Cheng nodded at him, then came to Xiao Li.

After looking him up and down, he said:
"Young man, if you can beat You Lei, I will let you follow me!"

He said this as if it were a great gift.

There were actually people around who showed envious expressions.

It's just that he was flirting with the wrong person.

Xiao Li still looked harmless, and smiled at him and said:
"I have no plans to follow anyone else for now."

The tone seemed extremely sincere.

There was no sense at all that he looked down on Mr. Cheng Sanye.

Upon hearing Xiao Li's answer, Mr. Cheng was also stunned.

Then he laughed:
"Hahahahahaha...young man, you're very interesting."

At this time, a young man behind Mr. Cheng frowned and asked Xiao Li:

"Boy, do you know who Mr. Cheng San is?"

Xiao Li said innocently:

"Do I have to know?"

“……”The other party was almost choked to death.

Master Cheng San said to the young man behind him:
"Okay, Xiaobai, it's normal that people don't know me."

The man named Xiaobai at the back nodded respectfully and responded:
"Yes, godfather."

Then Mr. Cheng smiled at Xiao Li and said:

"Xiao Gao, fight well later, I'm counting on you."

After saying that, he led a group of people to a slightly higher platform on the side of the ring.

There was a row of old sofas there, as if it was a place specially prepared for someone.

There was only a middle-aged man sitting there before, and I didn’t even notice his dialect.

Now it seems that the place should belong to the "VIP room".

At this time, Brother Qiang shouted to everyone again:
"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Everyone, don't just stand there! Mr. Cheng has already placed his bet, what are you still hesitating about?"

"The opportunity is right in front of you, give it a try!"

"Don't hesitate, this is someone that the Third Master is optimistic about."

A younger brother beside him also started to shout:
"Once you miss this opportunity, you will miss this store."

"Everyone, place your bets quickly!"

Brother Qiang shouted:

"You all know that Third Master and I are not in the same group. Even if you don't believe me, can you not believe Third Master's judgment?"

After this sentence was said, everyone felt that it seemed to make sense.

Then some people immediately stood up and echoed:

“Then I’ll put in 5 dollars.”

"I'll buy one for 5 dollars, too. I trust Mr. San's judgment."

"I'll have one too."

"I also……"

Suddenly, people began to place bets in an endless stream.

Brother Qiang finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked someone to invite Xiao Li to the stage. The rule for going on stage was to take off thick clothes.

After Xiao Li took off his thick clothes, there was only a shirt underneath.

Combined with his current flat-top hairstyle, he looks exactly like he did in Fist of Fury.

Fang Yan took Xiao Li's clothes and said to him:
"Remember the key points of separating tendons and dislocating bones."

Xiao Li nodded:
"Defeat the enemy with one strike!"

After saying that, he walked straight towards the ring.

At this time, the younger brother beside him asked curiously:

"This Third Master Cheng has such a keen eye that he can see Xiao Li's strength?"

Fangyan shook his head and said:

"I don't know, but I think he shouldn't be that powerful."

He analyzed quietly:

"His walking posture is loose and sloppy. He doesn't look like a serious martial artist, unless he has reached a level that I haven't reached yet and has returned to his original nature."

Having said this, Fang Yan turned his head to look at his brother-in-law Zhao Yuanchao and asked him:
“Brother-in-law, you’ve been here on business, have you ever heard of this person’s origin?”

My brother-in-law nodded and said:

"I know this person. His family is a bit like the Le family, but not as big as the Le family. They also used to run a pharmacy."

“It is said that there used to be several stores in the south of the city, but they have all become public-private partnerships.”

"When he was young, he liked to wield weapons and make friends with gangsters. He restrained himself when the policy was not so relaxed a few years ago, but this year when the policy was relaxed, he started again."

"That's all I know in simple terms. I'm not too sure about the details, but the little white guy he just called out is probably his adopted boxer godson."

"Hmm..." Fang Yan nodded.

Director Chen on the side took over the conversation and said:
"So, this person is not a gangster?"

The eldest brother-in-law shook his head:

"That can't be said. He has close interactions with these people in society. He can be considered a mixed-up person, but he is a more advanced one."

Everyone nodded, this was quite true.

My eldest brother-in-law Zhu Lang sighed:

"It looks like he has a lot of money, but he just lost 200 yuan."

"Everyone was not optimistic about Xiao Li, but he wanted to come out and make a name for himself, not afraid of wasting 200 yuan."

The dialect explains:
"That brother Qiang doesn't dare to accept it."

"Whether you win or lose, the 200 yuan will be returned intact."

"If you win, Brother Qiang can only give you six times the money. That's called following the rules."

"If he loses, he won't dare to take the money. He will return it and thank Cheng San for taking the lead and making him earn money. Maybe he will even split the winnings with him in a 70% to 30% ratio."

My brother-in-law was stunned and looked thoughtful.

Wang Yitang was surprised:

"Can this still happen?"

Fangyan said to the young man:
"The world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relationships."

Hearing this, several people were shocked, and the younger brother said:

"Brother, this is so philosophical, I have to write it down!"

After hearing this, Chen Kaige nodded.

At this time, cheers came from the crowd.

Then there was a cry:
"Thunder Lord!"

"Thunder Lord!"

Everyone's eyes turned to the stage. At this time, a man about 1.9 meters tall came late and slowly stepped onto the stage.

He took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body.

Then he moved his thumb downward and slowly moved it across his neck from left to right, making a neck-wiping gesture towards Xiao Li.

Suddenly, there was loud cheering from the audience.

The person who bought Xiao Li’s product just now felt his heart bleeding.

This body type is not even on the same level!

"Damn, so arrogant?" Chen Kaige said angrily.

After provoking Xiao Li, You Lei began to do the pendulum steps and waved his fists to warm up.

At the same time, he waved his fist provocatively at Mr. Cheng Sanye on the platform.

When they saw his warm-up movements at this time, Fang Yan and the others were also stunned.

Wang Yitang almost laughed out loud. He said to everyone:

"This... this guy actually used boxing?"

Chen Kaige smiled and said:
"Fuck, what a coincidence!"

Fangyan shouted to Xiao Li on the stage:

"Abandoned him!"

After hearing this, Xiao Li raised his right hand and responded:
"Take care of him in five seconds!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place suddenly fell silent, as if the mute button had been pressed.

The next second, there was a loud bang and all kinds of sounds erupted from under the ring.

Someone shouted "Come on!"

Most of them are swearing wildly!
Even You Lei on the opposite side had a dark face.

I didn't expect the newbie on the other side to be so arrogant.

He said angrily:

"I want to see how you can finish me off in just five seconds!?"

Xiao Li bowed to him, then immediately assumed the Xingyiquan Eagle Catching posture, squatted down and changed into the Hidden Dragon Cross-legged posture.

You Lei snorted coldly and said, "It turns out to be just a showpiece."

Then he did a punch standing pendulum step.

He stared at Xiao Li with cold eyes, gathering strength in his muscles, intending to attack fiercely right from the start.

The referee glanced at the time, then came onto the field, raised his hands, waved them down fiercely, and shouted:

"start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before everyone could react, they saw Xiao Li suddenly rush forward, and in the blink of an eye, he had bumped into You Lei. The next second, he put his hands around You Lei's thighs.

Then You Lei's scream of "Ah!" echoed throughout the workshop.

The next moment he fell on his back, twitching.

The whole place fell silent for a moment.

This scene left everyone stunned.

At this moment, no one knew who said tremblingly:
"Five... you couldn't even hold on for five seconds?"

On the other side, Brother Qiang's younger brother asked him:
"Brother Qiang, so what you just said was true!?"
